Dr. Boynton , after the rigor ex
perienced by the president in the af
ternoon had passed away , said it was
the same in character as those ex
perienced in Washington and was one
of the incidents of his condition and
might recur at any timo. It was only
nlarming n so far as it showed what
might occur. Two onomatas oi
fibrous beef were given during the
day ; ono early in the morning and the
-other after the dressing of the wound.
The president slept quietly most of
the afternoon , and when sponged
off after 4 o'clock expressed him-
.self as refreshed. Hia pulse was then
108. The surgeons and attendants
wore summoned at half-past 5. the
president having remained awake to
make the evening dressing. Although
the president had boon half raised in
bed and boon eating grapes , Dr. Agnew -
now said on his way to the cottage
that the situation was ono to give rise
to grave anxiety. Col. Rockwell
was also quoted as saying the presi
dent's condition was very critical.
'Tho evening bulletin was unexpected
ly hopeful and the best which has been
issued for four days. It created
amazement at the president's "rapid
recovery from the morning's unfavor-
.ablo chill and the favorable reaction
from the conditions at noon. Dr.
Agnew and Dr. Bliss came together
from the president's cottage after
issuing the bulletin and wore over
whelmed with congratulations over
the unexpectedly good nows. People
almost refused to believe the figures ,
.and the surgeons said when they were
first indicated they hud doubted and
looked a second time with great care
-at the instruments , the figures were
found correct. Tiicro were universal
expressions of but amazement that
the president should so completely
have shaken off the ill effects of the
'
rigor. The Burgeons referred to Gar-
fields phenomenal
HTKENQTIC OF CONSTITUTION
.and maintained that the bulletin was
the best in ninety-six hours. "It
was a chill , " said Dr. Bliss this even
ing , "and was caused , wo think , by
the depraved condition of the blood ,
.and pulmonary troubles seem less
pronounced to-night and there seems
to bo a yielding of many malignant
symptoms this ovoning. The respira
tion has boon 18 since 2 o'clock this
.afternoon. The worst symptoms seem
to have passed away , Wo have given
him abuut five and one-half ounces of
"beef blood during the past twenty-
four hours ; also beef tea and a small
portion of poptourized beef , some
milk punch , two dozen Delaware
grapes and two strawberries. "
"What had the president eaten before -
fore vomiting ? "
"Ho had just token his porridge
.and his attendants were civing 'him
brandy and water. His utoniach re
fused to retain cither , vomiting was
attendant upon rcgior and no con
tinued nausea followed. "

MIDNinllT BULLETIN UNOFFICIAL ,
Hope and despondency have vici
with each other for the past twenty-
four hours. The people were so despondent
pendent that they took great courage
at the issuing of the bulletin , bu
the admission oy the physicians that
the fluctuation was liable to occur all }

It is now generally aVl
.mittod that the projidenta condi
tion over since ho was shot has bcoi
one of constant loss , and that in favor
able periods ho has not recovered whal
ench relapse cost him , and in no in
stance has gained what he actually
lost. Dr. Bliss lias never talked so
discourajjingly as to-night. He
sent a dispatch to a friend , saying
"Tho president is not so well. I have
no hope of his recovery. "
In a conversation with the reporter
of the National Associated Press , Dr.
Boynton said :
"Tho president just now is comfort
bio , asho is at present suffering no
pain. That means nothing more than
that ho is quiet. Ho had a slight improvement -
provement during the day , but it haa
not been maintained. Ho is no !

THK PRESIDENT'S CONDITION
this morning is one"which warrants a

owing assurances ;
"I wns with the president most of
the night , and ho has started in on
what 1 behove will prove to bo
ho best Sunday ho lias

The attending surgeons foe
more cheerful and agree will
every word made in the statement

dorse it as a careful oflicial statement
of the situation this morning. Tin
surgeons Bay that Gen. Swaim a in
tiinato knowledge of the patient ; his
perfect acquaintance with the case
and his constant attendance at the
president's bedoido give to any state'

at 12:15 : o'clock , walked over from his
place to Francklyn Cottage , saying ho
desired to receive some personal as
surnnccs as to the actual condition ol
the president. When lie approachot
the cottage quite a number of persona
cainu out of the cottage to welcome
come him. There were among
the number Miss Mollie
Carfiold , Mrs. Rockwell , Gen. Swaim
Secretaries Windom and Hunt , Post
master James , and a number of the
president's ' personal attendants. The
general did not intimate any desire to
enter , and extended conversation was
hold on the parlor porch Gen. Grant
came away from the cottage more
cheerful and with his face covered
with a smile of satisfaction. Meeting
a reporter of the National Associated
Press , ho was asked :
"General , what do the people at
the president's cottage tell you m re
gard to the president's condition ? "
"What they toll , " ho replied , ' 'is
of a moro reassuring character. "
"Do they refer to the chill of yes
terday ? "
"Yes , they say that there are no ovl
denccs of a recurrence of the chills. "
"Do they say that ho has suffered
any ill effects from the chill ? "
"No , they aaauro mo that ho has
not suffered any ill effects from the
chill , and also that he is quite com
fortable. "
"What do they assure you is the
actual condition of the president
now ? "
"What they assure mo of is that the
president is now on an upward turn.
The term 'upward' U the exact lan
guage they used in describing his con
dition to mo at the present timo. At
1 this afternoon the temperature of
the president was reported to
bo slowly rising by the immediate at
tendants , when the president said that
at present there wereno indications
to warrant the opinion that there
would bo a recurrence of the chills ,
or that any now complications would
arise- . They did not deny that the
chills may occur , and that new com
plications may arise , but they Bay they
expect them so long as president - s
blood is in ita present septic condi
tion. "
THE flUEOF.ONH
any ho febrila to-day was unusually

yund 100 and the pulse did not go
higher than 120 figures much below
the average of most of these fevers ol
recent occurrence. Dr. Bliss says the
fever was slight and the indications
furnished by it were favorable. At
7:35 : p. m.
ATTOUNEy-aENKEAL JIACVKAOII
telegraphed Secretary Elaine , Au
gusta , Maine , that everything was of
n bettor nature and the president was
having a good timo.
At 7 :30 : p. m. it was reported that
the president had just had another
rigor. The author of the rumor was
ono of the colored attendants , who ,
liurrying from Francklyn Cottage ,
was heard to exclaim : "Do president
has had another chill. I know he's
cold. " The same man half an hour
later said the president was asleep and
comfortable , but he insisted
that the president was cold at
the time ho referred to. Attorney
General MacVoagh , on hearing of the
rumor , hastened to the president's
cottago. Ho returned almost imme
diately and said that he did not believe
liovo that the darkey's statement was
true , as he found the president quiet ,
with no indication of his having a
chill. MaoVoagh says that the presi
dent did have a chill. It came on at
f:15 : p. m. and lasted ton minutes.
[ t then passed off without any percep
tible fever and without having loft
any perceptible effect.
THE CHILL
was not at all pronounced and was
hardly noticeable. Its approach was
so void of violent symptoms that its
real nature could hardly bo ascer
tained before the chill had cone ,
MaoVoagh" says the ohill was so very
slight that the president took no no-

Washington early in the afternoon ,
called upon Doctors Agnew

HAH TAKEN A TUUN.
There is good authority for the
statement that Dr. Agnew to-day as-
urod Dr. Pjncoast , of Philadelphia ,
hat ho thought the last night crisis
n the president's case was turning ,
aid that the president had found it
ar bettor this morning. It is not
rue that Dr. Hamilton's presence
lore last night was duo to u sudden
umrnona by Dr. Agnew , stating ho
hought the end hud comu. Dr. Ham-
Iton s visit was voluntary and unex-
Kictod ,
MAUVJUail TO HLAINi : .
At 8 p. m. MaoVoagh notified Blaine
hut the president had a chill lasting
en ininntos. The announcement that
he president had another rigor re-
lowed .the excitement of lait night ,
hough in a modified form. At t )
o'clock Dr , Bliss came from the presi
dent's cottngo and gnvo the following
account : *
"Yes , the president has had anotlior
chill ; ho is now well over it. After
the rigor yesterday had subsided , in
dications scorned to warrant the ex
pectation of a recurrence of chills.
We then put ourselves in read
iness to bo always prepared to meet
them. Wo kept a close watch on the
temperature. Wo kept him wrapped
up in warm flannels and bathed him
whenever necessary with hot alcohol.
Until after the evening dressing there
appeared nothing to indicate disturb
ance , but matters changed after that.
Some lime before oven there appear
ed signs that ho would have another
chill. I arranged him cnrfully and
comfortably and wont to supper , to bo
prepared for work ahead. "
Said Dr. Agnew : "There ill bo
playing by the band to-night , " and n
few moments later he was summoned
'to the president's bcdsido by the in
formation that ho had a chill. "When
I got thbro the chill was almost over ,
and the ensuing fever was in such
disturbances as are incident to the
condition of thu patient's law state of
system , the condition of the blood
and stoppage of the healing-process. "
MAUVEAQlt's CABLKOUAM.
The following was Bunt tonight ;
Lowell , Minister , London : The presi
dent passed a comparatively quiet and
comfortable day , but this evening ho
had another chill of Icssduration than
that of yesterday but sufficient to in
crease the very great anxiety already
existing. Ho has also bcun slowly
growing weaker. His present condi
tion excites the gravest apprehension.
( Signed ) MAO YEA OH.
"Previous to the -chill , * ' said Dr-
Bliss , "the president was cheerful.
Ho has taken nourishment and stimu
lants , including two and a half ounces
of fibrous beef. There \ \ as no fever
preceding the chill , which lasted
about ten minutes and was not nearly
so severe as yesterday. Daring its
continuance the president was cold ,
shaky and trembling. His pulse
wont to 134 , temperature 100 , respi
ration 22 pulse two boats lower than
yesterday , temperature two and res
piration not so high. The chill was
less severe in every way. The lungs
remain about the same. As hereto
fore , there was loss expectoration and
couahing. "
"How about the other symptoms ! "
"There has been no particular
change in the wound. It is about the
same. The channel has diminished
somowhatin size , but not frilni healthy
causes , for instance , when bo ny cleaned
it now holds but ono ounce of water
whereas three weeks ago it licld two
and one-half. This is not Lho result
of granulation , because no repair has
been going on for the last hreo days
The granulation is not healthy. Thcro
is no diminishing of the cafity as has
been shown by the lessoning of the
elasticity of the walls. [ There has
been no contraction durM. the last

soreness , no swelling' and no other
evidence of pus along the track and
the wound is fully encysted and there
are indications of an absence of all
irritation at the end of the track.
"Will there bo morb chills ? "
"Yes , they are likely to occur so
long as there is no repair. Until the
repair is resumed wo may expect dis
turbances about twice in twenty-four
hours. There are now evidences of
repair. "
"Is the president worse than last
night ? "
"No worse and no bettor. "
Dr. Bliss continued that there was
no swelling of the gland , but the pro
cess of healing in nil the 'wounds Ima
stopped. There was no hallucination
during the febrile rise to-day. Ho
docs not seem to got enough nourish
ment to keep up the work of repair.
Ho is
SUFFERING ! FROM INACTION.
Ho has mild sweats after each risor.
The prospects are that ho will have
no more rigor to-night. That the
Fever will subside at midnight and
the pulse run from iOi ( to
108. He looks upon the case
as grave and watches it closely. This
lias been a fearful fight. My God !
you know nothing about it outside.
There is this to say about it , howev
er , the experience and skill of a life
time has boon put in those last twelve
weeks. The president has a chance ,
and wo are going to fight for it , to
the end. Things are rocky just now ,
but no patient of mine has over been
buried until ho was dead.
AT 11 r. M.
the situation at Elboron was un
changed. The president was no
worse than ho was last night , but was
weak and very low and ho was much
exhausted.
Secretary Kirkwomt arrived this
norning. Secretaries Blaine and
Lincoln will bo here to-morrow.
The consulting doctors censure Dr.
Boynton for saying that the presnlont

say there is no ground for such a re

ing the wock a long list of appoint
ments for the nblo nnd distinguished
speakers of the republican party have
been announced for Ohio , beginning
on the 20th. The democratic com
mittee has been ready to open the
speaking campaign , bub in the con
tinued and critical illncs.i of the presi
dent wo have thought that the patri
otism and sorrow in the presence of
that awful calamity to our coun
try demanded that partisans should
bo silent , Tidings each day from
great Buffering grow gloomier nnd in
dicate that death nlono will end the
tragedy. In view of this sad condi
tion of affairs wo wish to suggest that
wo nro willing to avoid all discussion
that will lead to bitterness , and out
of respect for the president , this being -
ing his native state. If you will con
sent to the a.rangcmont wo will not
announce any meeting , provided you
withdraw your appointments. How
ever , if you do not care to do this , a
soiiao of duty compels us to say wo do
not foci like opening the campaign
while President Garficld lingers at tlio
door of death. "

Clark Irwin , Chairman Democratic
State Executive Committee :
DKAH Siu Your favor of this day
has been received. In reply I
will say that tins committee
before it announced the opening of
its campaign determined that fair ,
honest and candid presentation of the
principles of the republican party
would bo rather improper or unpatri
otic. These principles President
Garlield loved nnd advocated with all
his great powor. Prom his life-long
and mamiilicont record wo know that
the triumnh is most earnestly wished
for by him. Whether by will oi
Providence President Garfield lives or
dies it is a sacred duty of the repub
lican party to use all proper moans to
maintain the principles. President
Garfield , when a soldier for the
Union , never faltered because an
eminent and useful commander foil
< u tlio ficJjjl f .batthM i3 . , Pf : rJsj :
Garfiold'a'vplco cauld bo hoard ho
would bid his old comrades , "Do no't
abandon the principles because I suf
fer. " In contending for his and their
principles the republicaas will follow
his example and obey hia command ,
whether It is proper at this time to
advocate the principles which the
president always believed to be in
jurious to the country , is a question
for n commission to determine for
iteolf. " Very respectfully ,
G".o. N. NASH ,
Chairman Republican State Executive
Committee.
DIVIDING UP.
Considering the Question of a
New Oongregationalist
Church.
Rev. Alvin F. Shorrill , of the First
Congregational church delivered a
sermon yesterday morning taking
his text from Acts 13 , regarding
churches branching out. In begin
ning ho said that it had boon suggest
ed to him by a number of the mem
bers as well as by outsida parties that
it would bo wise for their church to
branch out and establish another
Congregational church in the western
part of the city To-day ho would
present the reasons why they should
do so and also reasons that might deter -
tor them for so doing. The reasons
for are .briefly as follows : The his
tory of'churchos in general show that
those churches eucceed best that make
tlio most effort. People attend the
nearest church when they
can. The people living near St.
Mary's avenue and In hat
vicinity were favorably disposed
towards their church and were able
and willing to giyo liberally. Several
property holders had offered to con
tribute towards It and the Congrega
tional church in gonornl trai disposed
to aid them. The Methodist had
branched out several tinies and had
boon generally successful ; that part
of the city is now well settled and that
it would certainly increase the mem
bership. The reasons why it might
not bo policy for them to branch put
are briefly as follows : It would divide
the church , many members claim
ing that united in ono church it
gave them more power and influence.
Many active members would oppose
one's leaving the present church , a i
they would dislike to have them go
away , In conclusion , llov. Mr. Shor
rill said that ho merely presented the
subject to them for consideration , but
that n mooting would beheld Wednes
day in the church to discuss it.
